Finally, at the end of a rapid and fiery journey, the end of the Algae Sea appeared, revealing a wide, clean sea!

The flames began to extinguish due to the lack of methane, and the entire ship's surroundings turned bright red.

Chun looked back, and the sea route they came from was clearly a burning sea of fire. But since it was specifically designed by the system to block players, it couldn't be so easily cleared by setting a fire. Probably it only burned the surface, and the seaweed below might have even thrived on the fertilizer.

Finally, with a splash, the glowing red hull hit the water, sending steam all around.

Old Turtle's voice was tired and weak: "Warriors, I'll rest on the ship for a while, the rest is up to you..."

Having said that, the ship swayed.

The Siren also lay flat on the deck from exhaustion: "I've run out of mana, Miss Aziza, the rest is up to you."

Chun actually wanted to lie down too, but couldn't bring himself to do it: "Miss Aziza, you're tired too, let me handle it from here."

Aziza was grateful: "Alright, I was too busy drinking alone earlier and didn't rest well."

She released Chun's hand, fetched a bottle from the wine crate, and drank herself to sleep.

Uh... she trusts me so much, wearing nothing but a curtain and lying in front of me like this, what old official wouldn't be tested?

Aileen also said: "Alright then, you practice on your own, I'll rest. There's still much to do over there."

Uh...

Alright, as a mature man, I'll handle things on my own. With the 105% speed bonus from the Obsidian Commerce Association, there are still at least one or two days of travel ahead.

...

Divine Presence Corps Headquarters.

The Young Master and Tata Battle Team Manager Singer argued for hours before finally reaching a memorandum of understanding.

In essence, the Young Master clarified that the village burning had nothing to do with him. Although the greatest benefactor was the Divine Presence Corps, it didn't mean they orchestrated it; it was the China players trying to sow discord. Fortunately, the China players' plot to seize the village was foiled, and the two sides should continue to cooperate. The stationed members of the Tata in the village would continue their work.

As for the burned ship, it's said that Baron Fei Peng has connections at the shipyard and can get a loan to buy a ship from there, but hopes Tata will cover the loan.

Finally, the Tata Team is to respond by selling fish for free to the Shangri-La Commerce Association for at least a week. Because Sakamaru Sea Commerce Association's free announcement lasts a week, they can't allow Sakamaru to lose credibility...

For the Shangri-La Commerce Association, which controls high-end entry permits, they have ways to control Tata. Either comply or get out.

Actually, the Young Master proposed Tata taking a loan to buy the ship because he thought Tata wouldn't agree; he hoped they'd get lost. But if they don't, it's fine too.

At this moment, the biggest hero of achieving this, the Peeping Immortal, had also made significant progress with the Dancer Vivian.

It's time to deal with a long-delayed major issue: to enter the sewers and find the Sacred Artifact Chun dropped along with various other unknown equipment.

Due to the plague and the outbreak in Silver City, the sewer covers in Black Iron City were tightly monitored by NPCs, and the entire city was under 24/7 surveillance by the Divine Presence Corps' posts.

The prior burning of the Count's Mansion by the Divine Presence Corps in collaboration with Tata was intended to infiltrate and find the secret sewer entrance. However, it failed because the Peeping Immortal leaked the Count's secrets in a tabloid, making movement impossible due to heavy guards.

Therefore, the only remaining path is the tavern's backdoor sewer. Because investigating Chun's surveillance video showed that a few minutes after the official server started, Chun went through the tavern's backdoor and disappeared. The surveillance team didn't see him anywhere on the street, only the sewers.

The Peeping Immortal thus mentioned this sewer matter to Vivian.

Vivian was stunned: "What sewer? Why are you thinking of going into a sewer?"

Could it be that my favorability isn't enough to trigger it?

The Peeping Immortal went straight to the point: "I want to search the sewers for the lost Sacred Artifact."

Vivian, irritated, said: "The Adventurer's Guild went down there two days ago, did you forget their magic bat bounty from a week ago? It was paused, not canceled."

The Peeping Immortal was shocked: "How is that possible? None of the street covers have been opened."

Vivian replied, "Of course, they wouldn't open them in the streets. What if the virus remnants escape? They opened it in the Church's inner courtyard, where the Holy Light Baptism can respond to emergencies anytime."

The Church's inner courtyard? Animal Protection Association? It must be the Tata War God!!

So, the Tata War God was actually in the sewers for these two days! However, given Curry's character, if he did find the Sacred Artifact, he'd certainly boast about it, right? Why is he silent?

The Peeping Immortal still needed confirmation: "Is this information reliable, Miss?"

Vivian was angry: "Who do you think you're looking down on? Are there not enough Adventurer's Guild members drinking here?"

"I'm sorry, I was rude..."

The Peeping Immortal had to report the information to the Young Master.

The Young Master, feeling pleased with himself, was about to make up for his many sleepless nights when...

The Young Master fumed: "So the Tata War God got the Sacred Artifact necklace Magic Guidebook?"

The Peeping Immortal, helpless, said: "Though there's no information, I also don't believe it, but he probably got it. It might be that what he found is so powerful he chose not to boast."

The Young Master was too angry to sleep: "It seems our burning of the Count's Mansion was in vain! As vice president, you know what needs to be done?"

"Understood! I'll see that they're overworked in the village!"

Just then, there was a report from surveillance: "We spotted Amy meeting her mother at the shoe stall in the square!"

The Peeping Immortal was surprised, having not seen her for days—how did Amy get out of the Count's Mansion? What triggered this?

The Peeping Immortal immediately ordered: "Monitor the entire process, I'll be right there!"

The team continued to report: "Amy ran off towards East First Street..."

"Quickly, pursue!"

"She's fast, requesting East First Street surveillance..."

Fast? Then the fundamentals of the Dancing Girl are in place.

With continuous surveillance reports, the final destination was confirmed: "Amy appeared at Baron Fei Peng's doorstep, timidly and cautiously looking around."

Is she looking for me?

The Peeping Immortal rushed over and saw her! She looked extremely anxious.

"Amy!"

Amy turned sharply: "Kind brother, I came to find you! The Count has sent me to the Southern Canyon Village to learn dance, and I'm about to leave with the trade caravan. I came to say goodbye!"

Nani!? Although it's known Bilenna is special, who knew even the Count would be alerted! What exactly is this—

But this is precisely the best opportunity to infiltrate Southern Canyon Village. China District players wouldn't suspect such a small NPC!

The Peeping Immortal immediately called out to strengthen ties: "Amy, I'll give you a gift, you must study hard!"

But ended up embarrassed because the Peeping Immortal had nothing but rations, potions, weapons, and thief books on him!

Give the thief book! After all, she's going there as a spy.

"Thank you, kind brother, I can't read, but I'll do my best to learn..."

Nani? Can't read...
